Punctuation can also be used as operators. + = and, , = or. Searching
for phrases that have , and will result in error unless you enclose the entire
phrase in quotes.

The Filter option allows you to narrow your search results to a specific Title or
Chapter. Here is a tip for using the filter option.

Use a dash (-) as the last character of your filter to refine searches. For example
the filter "1-1" returns sections in 1-1, 1-10, 1-11, 1-12, etc. The filter "1-1-"
returns only sections in Chapter 1-1.
